I don't really see a main focal point here. I want to say that it's the branch to the right, however, my eyes aren't really drawn there at all.
The lighting looks good. Looks like it was a great day to take photos. Nice sky, nice color in the sky. the other colors don't seem to compliment the sky much though. Muted greens. I wonder if you boosted some saturation on the greens just a bit if this would help slightly to make it look like everything wasn't dying.
The birds flying around are too small in this version to make an interesting subject, and therefor are also a bit of a distraction. Looks almost like dust on the lens or something.
Horizon appears tilted, however, the branch and the poles in the background are straight, so that is a bit confusing.
I like the angle and crop you chose. I think that having the little leaves in the bottom in the forground makes for something interesting to frame the shot with.
While this is a beautiful scene, it lacks focus and color in the bottom half. I would like more details, and somehow draw some attention to the branch which for the challenge should be the main subject.
looks like a great place to go to gather your thoughts. nice and peaceful.

| A nicely taken photo, but the focus is a bit more on the scene than the branch. The composition is good and it's very pretty. |

| Something seems off here. The comp is nice but maybe its oversharpened or overexposed. |

| The horizon looks tilted (may be an illusion caused by foreshortening of the shore). |

| real nice reflection shot. Make the water as blue as the sky and you'd really have something. |

| Thought the use of soft glow did not suit the composition. Focus has been compromised by using it. Thought the water was over exposed, but that might be due to the glow treatment. |

| Nice reflections... but to me, the picture looks better with the branch at the top and the reflection at the bottom... and with the horizon straightened to make the scene look more placid. |

| It looks like the focus is on the branch in the lower right of the shot. Makes the majority of the picture seem blurry. |

| horizon is off by about 5.5 degrees clock-wise |

| I'd adjust the horizon so it's parallel to the bottom of the photo. Nice reflective quality. The limbs to the right front are distracting. You could alleviate them and still have plenty of branches with the trees on the bank. |

| Sorry, but tilted horizons without good reason just bother me--they steal any merit the composition might otherwise have had. Highlights are a bit blown as well. These are most likely post-processing choices that could be remedied. |

| Very cool shot. The sky pops, but the other colors are a bit muted. With advanced editting this would be a really cool shot...If you take time to do it pls send me a pm. Great job. |

| Neat idea but the trees look out of focus |

| Straightened horizon and removal of distractiong foreground would really help this photo. Other than that it is a very good photo. |
